Overview
- Detroit’s defense generated three takeaways, forced two fumbles and hit Jake Browning nine times to control the game for three quarters.
- Jared Goff delivered another efficient outing and now leads the NFL in completion percentage at 75.2% and touchdown passes with 12.
- Aidan Hutchinson continued his elite run with five sacks in five games, three straight forced fumbles and eight pressures against Cincinnati, reinforcing early DPOY buzz.
- Cornerback depth remains thin with D.J. Reed on injured reserve and others banged up, as Amik Robertson posted six tackles and his first Lions interception but later allowed a 65-yard Ja’Marr Chase touchdown.
- Cincinnati’s slide reached three games as Browning threw three interceptions and acknowledged, “I played awful today,” despite three late touchdown passes.
